EDUCATED FARMERS.
What They Have Done for the Advance
ment of Rural Interests.

What They Have Done for the Advance
ment of Rural Interests.
While it is not to be inferred that
farmers are uneducated, or in any
sense inferior to other classes in intel
ligence, yet there is room for greater
educational expansion, which should
not be overlooked. It has been but q
decade since 'sbook-farmi ng'' was de-
rided as a pastime, resulting in great
expense and no profit; but at the pres
ent day ''book-farming" is considered
indispensable in conducting practical
operations ON the farm. The .'book-
farmer" as the phase is understood,
may not have been an adept in the use
Of implements, may have lacked skill
at the plow and in feed
ing, and knowledge Of the
proper mode of expenditure;
but while he was lacking in practical
experience, III was always aiming for
the best Of every thing, and, by experi-
ments, educated his neighbors. Though
he knew nothing about milking COW,
yet he could, at glance, separate the
different breeds of stock and mate them
for the best results; and his knowledge
of fertilizers, varieties of plants and
peculiarities of soils was often far in
advance of his more practical neigh
bors. While his efforts were often
failures, they always tended to better
system of cultivation and the introduce
ton of superior stock in the section in
which he operated.
If the skilled and practical artisan
considers it his duty to make study of
architecture, mechanical drawings and
specifications, with the advantage of
books giving the experience and designs
of others, there is no reason for the
farmer to refuse kindred privileges for
himself. A knowledge of the progress
made in his calling can be gained only
by study and practical experiment
! upon the theories advanced. There
are hundreds Of farmers who are ex-
perts in the management of dairy,
yet who give little or no attention to
| the classification of stock; and some of
the most successful horticulturists have
| no idea of how the varieties of fruit
cultivated by them were produced.
Though farmers, like all other class
es, may be benefited by knowledge,
they are not as slow as is generally
supposed. Every season there are a
great number Of conventions held to
consider agricultural subjects, but the
masses are best educated not only by
the study Of agricultural literature, but
by meetings in each locality. It is at
such meetings that the practical and
theoretical can be compared, and the
experiments and opinions of every
member given. A great advantage OF
local meetings is the facility of inspec-
ton of the farms Of such sections and a
direct comparison of the growing
crops, as well as the livestock pos
sessed by each, which affords an oppor-
tunity also to the younger members, in.
fusing in them a spirit Of progress
which is sure to result in benefit in the
future, and to render agriculture more
and more profitable. --P Philadelphia Rec.

GouLIns NEW SUIT.

The great success which a committee of
foreign boudholders once had in making
Jay Gould disgorge 1000. 900 worth of
securities belonging to them, but which
he had managed in some mysterious man
ner to get mixed up with his own papers,
has not been forgotten by European CAPT
talists, as is proved by the fact that Ger.
tain of them are now about to sue him for
the value of SO. 900, 900 worth of Denver
Pacific bonds, which were lost in the same
way when he was 4 director Of that COM
pany. and also of the Kansas Pacific.
With the interest the amount claimed
now mounts to IS, 900. 900. 1t is asserted
that the bonds came to be regarded as
Gould's private property at about the
time that they were to rise in value from
5000, 600 to par. How this transfer took
place is not set forth. but to anyone who
is familiar with Gould's methods there
will be no great mystery about it. The
Kansas Pacific owned the bonds. Gould
was a director in both companies and he
has made 1t u business all his life to take
advantage of any little deals which he
could make with himself ia this tanner.
His forgetiulness of the interests OF the
corporation for which he acts is proverb
ial. When any of its securities show
signs of advancing in value he buys them
and takes the velvet of. When any of
his own securities manifest symptoms of a
decline it is generally found that he has
just sold them to some corporation that is
fortunate enough to have him for a di
rector. Il is to be hoped that the Kansas
Pacific bondhulders will be as successful
in their quest as the Erie b~ondholders
we're in the days of the Fisk Gould com-
bination, but it is not probable that they
will be. Jay is an older bird now than he
was then. L.--

THE FISHERY DISPUTE.

No thinking man, whether he be Dem
ocrat, Republican or something else polit-
ically, can fail TO give President Cleve-
land credit for the wise and temperate
policy pursued By him in regard to the
fishery imbroglio. Vested with almost
absolute authority TO redress our griev
ances, by the recent act of congress known
as the '.retaliatory act" Mr.. Cleveland
has, nevertheless, thus far declined to re-
sort to extreme measures authorized under
the law, and which goes to the extent of
authorizing the president of the United
States to declare absolute non. intercourse
with the dominion of Canada, and has,
instead, chosen to bide his time and has
thus far indirectly been pursuing a policy
that will probably in the end result in a
peaceful solution of the entire question.
Through a statement of the American
case made by direction of the president,
through Secretary Bayard, the dominion
government, as we'll a. Lord Salisbury in
England, have already been informed that
the United States will never consent as
Lord Salisbury proposed to settle the dis
pute-by a revival of the treaty OF 1878,
and ha ing been so informed and having
been convinced from President Cleveland's
letter to the New England Fishermen's
Association tbatif it should become neces-
sary the executive Of this country will not
hesitate to act in pursuance of the author
ity conferred by the late act of congress.
The statesmen of Canada, even including
Sir John Mcdonald himself. have begun
to turn their attention to the question of
a commercial union as the best and per
haps only means by which the difficulty
can be settled.
Itisquite certain, however, that whether
the dispute be terminated in this way or
some other. that in consequence Of Presi-
dent Cleveland's wise and moderate policy
the point has been reached and passed
where there is any serious danger of a
rupture or q war between this country and
Great Britain over this matter.
